These are just the best weekend snack that everyone loves. They originate from Lebanon where they’re called ‘arayes’. Eat them as a snack or with salad for a full meal.  

Makes 12  

 

Ingredients 
500g lamb mince  
1 onion, grated  
2 cloves garlic, grated  
3 tsps each ground cumin, coriander, paprika  
¼–½ tsp cayenne (optional)  
Small bunch of parsley, chopped  
½ tsp sea salt  
6 mini pita breads  
Olive oil for brushing  

Dipping sauce  
½ cup plain yoghurt  
2 tsp pomegranate molasses  
2 tsps sesame seeds  

 

Method 
In a bowl mix the mince with onion, garlic, spices, parsley, and salt.  
Halve each pita bread and tease the layers apart (slightly warm the breads if needed). 
Take a tablespoon of the spiced meat and spread it into a thin layer inside each pita. Make sure it gets right to the edges. Press flat and brush each pita with olive oil.  
Heat a pan to medium and fry each filled pita bread until golden and meat filling is cooked. It doesn’t take long as it’s a very thin layer of meat.  
Mix all dipping sauce ingredients together.  
Serve warm pita with dipping sauce.
